Seafood lovers will love this simple bread stuffing with real crab meat, served as a side dish with a festive bird. The base of the casserole is cubed stale potato bread, and a touch of dry sherry, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and fresh thyme infuse it with a zesty, spicy flavor. This bread stuffing is baked separately from the bird until golden and crispy on top.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 190°C and grease a shallow 3-quart baking dish with butter.
  2. In a large nonstick skillet, melt 6 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the white parts of the green onions, bell pepper, and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 6 minutes. Add the thyme and sherry and cook, stirring, until the sherry has almost completely evaporated, 3 minutes. Add the broth, salt, and cayenne pepper, bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.

  4. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake until golden brown, another 20-30 minutes.
